N.B.: Sorry i don't want to stress you out, i know it's hard being a developer. Especially when the software is this complex :) I am kind of in a pinch here, having to solve a lot of complex expressions - and it seems i can't rely on sage's solver not mistreating symbols as reals :/ -- To post to

I am not sure if this is even related. Does the solver rely on maxima, too!? The following should yield at least one complex solution... (See also at the end of https://sage.q1cc.net/home/pub/1/ ) a,b = var("a,b") solve([a*b==1,a+b==0],a) [] solve([a*b==1,b==-a],a) [] solve([a*(-a)==1],a) # Now

a bug report. If this is actually a bug i will open a ticket. I published a demo sheet at: https://sage.q1cc.net/home/pub/1/ Thanks in advance, Markus Dangl -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+uns
